Benton Harbor Welcomes New York Fried Chicken’s Second Location
NEW YORK FRIED CHICKEN, a popular local eatery, is expanding its reach with the opening of a second location in Benton Harbor. Situated at 610 E. Napier Avenue, the restaurant is expected to open next month, following renovations of the former Domino’s Pizza building. Owned and operated by brothers Laddy and Deep Singh, this venture will focus on take-out and drive-thru services, significantly enhancing the area’s dining options.
The decision to open this new outlet comes as Laddy and Deep Singh purchased the property from local residents Don and Barbara Meeks last month. The location is strategically positioned between Signature Automotive Group and Art & Image Sign Shop, making it easily accessible for customers. The site has a history of being home to several restaurants, including Load a Spud Potatoes and Wing Heaven.
As renovations get underway, crews are working diligently to prepare the restaurant for a swift opening. The Singhs are now putting their plans into action, aiming to bring the same beloved menu from their original Grand Rapids location to Benton Harbor. The Grand Rapids establishment has gained a loyal customer base, thanks in part to its late-night hours, with service extending until 2:30 a.m. at one location and until 3 a.m. at another.
Menu Offerings
At the new Benton Harbor location, the menu will mirror that of the Grand Rapids store, showcasing a wide selection of items. Customers can expect an array of chicken combinations, sandwiches, seafood, and desserts to cater to diverse palates. Signature offerings will include chicken boxes that range in size from 2-piece Snack Boxes to larger 21-piece Boxes, along with popular favorites such as hot wings, chicken nuggets, and tenders.
On the seafood front, diners can choose from options like jumbo shrimp, perch, cod, and catfish. The menu will also feature comforting sides including mac & cheese, fried pickles, and gizzards, as well as delectable desserts such as apple and pecan pie, banana pudding, and cheesecakes.
Service Commitment
New York Fried Chicken is dedicated to providing quality food while serving the local community. The brothers emphasize their commitment to offering affordable and swiftly prepared meals that evoke a sense of comfort and warmth. The new location is set to operate from 10 a.m. until 2 a.m., with the possibility of extending late-night drive-thru hours depending on customer demand.
The Singhs aim to create a welcoming atmosphere in their Benton Harbor restaurant, reflecting their culinary heritage from New York and their passion for satisfying late-night cravings. With their established reputation from the original Grand Rapids location, the new Benton Harbor New York Fried Chicken is poised to become a go-to spot for late-night food enthusiasts in the area.
As the opening date draws closer, residents can look forward to the arrival of New York Fried Chicken and the variety of menu offerings that will soon be available. This expansion marks an exciting development for the Benton Harbor community, promising to enhance the local dining landscape and offer around-the-clock convenience for patrons.
